OMG! ~ McCain speaking about his 'potential' running mate....

[Breeze54]

"I've never been involved in Wall Street, I've never been involved

in the financial stuff, the financial workings of the country, so I'd

like to have somebody intimately familiar with it,"

he said of a potential vice president. -- John McCain --

[justiceischeap]

1. Link for quote source? (eom)

[Breeze54]

4. McCain: "Economics is Something That I've Really Never Understood"

You never heard his say that?

http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2007/12/mccain-economic.html

[justiceischeap]

9. No, I've heard him say it but when I have quotes I like a source

So I can point people to it. That way I'm not accused of making shit up. CYA!

[Breeze54]

10. I understand but I just hadn't posted it .... sorry for being slow....

You're Welcome!!!!

5. The Sarah Palin quote is a parody...

...from the Saturday Night Live skit which opened the show on Saturday night.

It's based on her intervew with Charlie Gibson, but not her exact words.

[Breeze54]

11. Yeah, I know... it's a JOKE!!

Note laughing smilie !

[Greg K]

27. deleted nt

[liberalmuse]

2. Good find!

YIKES!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. He must have forgotten that he wanted someone like that...

Sarah Palin obviously doesn't have those qualifications!

[cui bono]

19. What are you talking about?

I'm sure she has a checking account!

[LeftyMom]

6. In my political communication class, we've decided she was a last minute pick

after his first (and possibly backup) choices turned him down.

My guess is this: After the party leaders nixed Holy Joe, he was going to pick Romney. Romney wants to run next time and would prefer not to be linked to this loser ticket and says no. The quote above would support a Romney pick. McCain possibly goes to his plan C, or tells his people to find him another fundamentalpatient before he gets saddled with Huckabee. Enter Crazy Cousin Sarah from Wasilla.

7. Send it to Obama, bloggers and MSM as a reminder of what we're dealing with.

As an aside, I think we won too. :D

[Breeze54]

12. I wish I had Photo Shop right now!

:P

[LunaSea]

18. Tell me what you'd like to see

The Photoshop lamp is lit.......

[Breeze54]

20. Awesome! I would have replied sooner but I lost power....

I was thinking of incorporating the quote in the OP and then maybe show McLiar with an abacus? :P

LOL!

Or somehow show a picture illustrating both of their lack of experience with Wall St. and economics.

Maybe something showing the wall St Bull and them both running away or looking frightened!

Charging Bull (sometimes called the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull)
is a 3,200 kg (7,000 pound) bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica that sits in
Bowling Green park near Wall Street in New York City.


Maybe show the actual street sign for Wall St and Failure Ave?! :P

Or maybe show a graph behind them, with the quote, showing the Dow Jones plummeting!







I need coffee though, bad.... let me think / wake up!

Thanks!! :hi:

[LunaSea]

21. check your PM

some thoughts on this.

[LunaSea]

32. Graphic for you

[KT2000]

8. Like Phil Gramm???

Do you think he was considering him?

[justiceischeap]

13. But wait, it gets even better!

When it comes to his vice president, McCain said he could envision giving the vice president responsibility to oversee certain policy matters much the way former President Clinton gave telecommunications issues to former Vice President Al Gore.

That subject area might be the economy, an area McCain said he has never been completely comfortable with.

[Breeze54]

14. I don't think he can 'envision' anything!

:P

Obama and Biden better take "the Bull" (pun intended) by the horns and hit a home run with this one!!

[ej510]

15. It's McCain not Palin.

[Breeze54]

17. Could you elaborate?

What's 'McCain not Palin'?

[hootinholler]

26. I think he has visions all the time...

Must be his meds 'cause when grampa got like that we hid his car keys.

-Hoot

[FrenchieCat]

16. LOL!

Now that's scary! :scared:

[Skwmom]

22. Au contraire. You've voted on plenty of financial legislation through the

years as you cozied up to your good buddy Phil Gramm.

[Breeze54]

23. No, no, no.... he knows Nozthing!!

:P

That's the new campaign issue and we need to hit it hard considering what's happening today on Wall St! ;)

[Warren Stupidity]

24. Yes but she has those big breasts

and that perky demeanor so I'll vote for the morans. Besides the other guy is a black muslin.

[Breeze54]

25. Start talking money and people perk right up and listen!

;)

[MattBaggins]

34. He's worse than black

He's a half-breed.

[yellowcanine]

28. To be fair, Sarah didn't say she could see Russia from her house. But if you aren't into fair, ok

go ahead. :rofl:

[MaineDem]

31. I think the quote is from the Saturday Night Live skit

Tina Fey is much more attractive as Palin than Palin is. :)

[MadinMo]

33. No but she did say you can see Russia from Alaska.

[nyc 4 Biden]

29. Umm, not to rain on your parade, BUT . . .

. . . there is actually a Charles Schwab across the street from the Alaska Governor's Mansion and Palin can actually see it out her office window.

So, you should really do some research before you imply that she isn't intimately familiar with the financial workings of the country!

[progressoid]

30. But she's purdy.

[DiamondG]

35. i really think turning this into an obama vs. palin contest is a bad idea. nt

[Riddler]

36. So he wants a do over??? LOL!!!!!
